Are the Sabres out of the running for the playoffs?

RJ is yelling at us everyday, "Not out!" -
A fantastic album. This one, too.

I'd take Reinbacher in the 17-21 range for sure. But I don't think he'll be available in the very late 20s where the Sabres will pick. 🍺

Whether Okposo is back or not is up to him. His scoring is down this season because he's a 4W with little to no PP time. Last season pre-Tuch and during VO's midseason wrist/hand injury he was a PP and top-6W. He's lost another step, but he's also still an effective grinder. And the bonus is next season he probably either re-signs for something in the $2M area like a matching Girgs deal. Remember, if you strike Old Dad Kposobi down (via retirement) he will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. And the Sabres will win the Cup shortly thereafter, as the spirit of Kposobi guides Tuch to nail the game-winner on a perfect shot.

I just noted this in the 3/4 GDT. I give them each one day off in the next 2 games. They've both had good chances lately and JJP has the 1 goal to show for it, but each could use one day off to get the box view and recharge. And I don't take Hino out against McDavid. Need the Cozens-Hino speed defense line to face the best player in the game. They've canceled him out before and can do so again.

There's no GDT for Edmonton yet and I don't think is worthy of its own thread so I'm just going to list it here and all'y'all can yell at me for it. The Sabres have matched up well against EDM the last couple seasons. There was the blowout loss in Edmonton last spring before the 1-0 shutout W in CGY. But the key has been a speedy lineup that can counter McDavid. That starts with Cozens and Hino together. I don't put Greenway in the lineup over Hino. I sit either JJP or VO. If it's VO, I sit him the one game and have him back in the lineup (over JJP) vs. NYI. I swap them back and forth on 3/6 and 3/7 either way. Both guys could use 1 game away to watch from above --- even though they've both been close to scoring on breakaways the last two games. I start Comrie in goal vs. EDM. He had a great game against them early this season. Then, I start Anderson vs. the Isles. UPL can backup both games. Finally, because speed is the key vs. EDM, I dress Bryson or Clague over Stillman in the EDM game. Bryson has been good vs. EDM because of his wheels. Then, Stillman is in vs. NYI. This also gives Stillman an extra day to recover from the knockout. Plus, Greenway will bring the new-team juice on Monday. Both of them can show off together on Tuesday. tl;dr version: 3/6 - Comrie, UPL. Clague or Bryson. Greenway in - VO or JJP out 3/7 - Anderson, UPL. Stillman back in. Greenway in - JJP or VO out
